You CAN fight city hall

As you may remember, I sprained my ankle on May 11 in front of the post office in Northfield.
I actually fell in a hole (see below) left by a very sloppy "in progress" construction job. FINALLY I got an offer from the insurance company representing the construction company who did the work. They will pay my medical bills (co pay amount) and send me $500 if I sign off on any further claims against them. If you count up all the hours I spent fighting this deal I figure I made about $6 per hour. Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth right? Since I had to cancel my 50th birthday vacation due to the sprained ankle I will use the $500 to go toward a future trip. Thanks to Jesse for her continuing support and advice as I navigated the confusing city politics.
